Mr. Green and his wife had a dog.
When they went out, they always left the dog inside the house. One evening they
wanted to go to the cinema, so they left the dog in the house and locked the
door and their garden gate. They went off in their car.
When the film was finished, they
went home. They opened the gate and put the car away. When they came to the
front door, they found that the glass in the door was broken. The door was not
locked and it was open. A robber! They went in and quickly looked in all the
rooms to see if the robber had taken their things. However, everything was in
the right place and nothing at all was missing.
The dog was sleeping in the
sitting-room. The wife was angry with the dog.“Why didn’t
you guard(保衛(wèi))the
house?”she said. The dog was pleased to see Mr. and
Mrs. Green. It began to wag(搖)its tail and then it went
to a comer of the room and picked up something in its mouth. It went to the
wife and dropped the thing at her feet. When she went to pick it up, she was
very surprised. Can you guess what the dog’s
present was ?It was a man’s finger!
The end of the story is this. Mr.
Green telephoned the police and told them everything. Three days later the
police caught the robber. They found him easily.

During
all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled 1. to the other side of the island (島嶼), I could see the other
islands, and I said to 2. , “Perhaps I can get there with a
boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”
